I waited until the end but probably due to copywrite you didn't give us a tune😂 Nice fix, eventually😂 Thanks for sharing.

college had a cupboard full of the predecessor to these, great keyboards. Spent many an hour doing scales on them and sequencing MIDI from 3.5" floppy. I believe the S500 was one of the first models to go USB for storage

Hi Andy. Works a treat the twin and earth cable. Does that mean I will get some commission. Lol

I managed to rescue my CTM 644 from my mum's garage a couple of months ago (I didn't put it in there), where it had been living for a couple of decades. Unfortunately it had been sitting on a damp surface and the main board is heavily corroded. I'm only an ameteur with electronics but even so, I reckon it's a lost cause. The components that haven't rusted off look in good nick!

wow another great repair had a same scenario with a laptop😊 thanks again

Thanks so mych for this, just received a 65 from france and has helped no end... Pinch roller shaft coated in thick black grease though (along with coming with a tub of it!) and thoight, that can't be right?! Such a messy substance to have near a tape path. I've always used Singer sowing machine oil for the shafts on Space echo's etc. Would you recommend this too for this application? Thanks again!

I have a Dansette Major record player I am restoring and want to upgrade the Cartridge, looking at your preamp board, it is powered from 12v Would it work from a rectified supply from the EL84 heaters.

I really respect you and your work man

Remember Dixons clearing the stock of these for £19.99. They were piled up OUTSIDE the front doors of the shop. In Liverpool. Don’t think any even got nicked let alone sold! They also cleared out the C64GS cheap too, wish I had bought a few of those….

Nice fix Doz. I laughed at the "escape key" joke🤣

Good Job

Thanks Doz. Another enjoyable video. I think we all need to form a support group for our eBay habit 🤣

Lovely rework. Thanks! I remember that computer in my youth. A friend had one back in the 1980s. I went Acorn System 1 -> ZX81 -> C64 - PC. I still have the System 1 :)

As always Ady great content, just have to loathe E-bay wankerism!

Thanks Doz. I half expected Blake, Avon and Cally to turn up, pursued by Servalan. Then I remembered it's an Oric, not Orac. I'll get my coat...

great thank you great video as allways , hooray for eBay , (I'm away looking again)😮😊

My first computer was a Commodore Vic-20. I knew nothing about computers until I got it as a surprise Christmas present in 1981 or 82 at the latest. The closest thing I had to a computer before that was probably my Speak and Spell. Probably around the early-mid 80s I remember my dad buying a series of computer magazines that you collected and put into special binders. Can't remember what it was called (probably had the word computer in the title) but I remember the binders being dark with I think green lettering. Anyone remember these? I remember there was a photo from Doctor Who in one of them which I think was from The Twin Dilemma so I guess that makes these magazines from around 1984. They featured all the home computers that were available at the time and I'm sure this Oric-1 was in there.

Happy New Year, Doz :) Nice to see this Osglim working! I saw something similar in a very old Cossor Oscilloscope as a teenager. Gas filled devices are a whole different world..... I've a hydrogen filled Barreter in my old GEC TV from 1956 to control the inrush current to the valve heaters.. The TV still works (so one of my better repairs, lol). Anyway, well done and keep the videos coming. All the best :)

Thanks Doz. I've got a dead PP2 and I'll give this a go.

Thats something I've never heard of

Another interesting video, hope the PSU survived, Happy New Year to Doz and Mrs Doz

I wonder how many missed your quit little song at the end. I almost did after you said goodbye.

Very good I saw one 40 years + 😀

Hope you had some spare smoke for the PSU😂

Interesting little bulb, I have a few quite rare bulbs in my collection.

great thank you very interesting looks to be like the mid 1930s 40s technology then was a lot better😊

I do hope the power supply survived. How much did you pay for that little item? Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year.

I have a couple of Osglim light bulbs from the 1940's, these plug in to a standard bayonet fitting & run on 240vac. they have a beehive internal shape. I guess they were intendrd as night lights, the envelope is a clear standard light bulb shape.

Is that an old B17 fitting

The main problem was a bad SMD diode, but what does that SMD diode do to the circuit?

Got the same one going to go hdmi to rf then I need to throw on a transformer adapter cuz I don’t have a rf port I have two terminals for uhf should have no problem right?

Great repairs well dome happy new year 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great one Doz, full respect for managing the SMD diode, a challenge at the best of times. There is a little bit for next years blooper reel in there as well when you where trying to check continuity with only one lead🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing as always and keep up the great work. All the best for 2025.

excellent little things the cube albeit expensive, played through them many times. Never opened one though so this was interesting. Happy new year to you and yours Doz and all the best for '25.

Another fine cup o'Doz. Was thinking of stop paying the licence fee and up pops the best there's been at Christmas on the Beeb for years. Gets my vote to replace the Bond movie or the Kings speech. Nice one Doz.

Nicely done Doz, you are surely a jack of many trades 🙂. A happy new year to you, now as we have almost spend the old one on many a joyfull adventure in your fine company.

great was waiting to see if they both had the same fault , Happy New Year 🍾🥂

Nice dub session at the end

I could not remember where the speaker plugged back on to the board. Your video got me sorted. Thanks.

Hi, why my Technics Se -C01 when I rise volume over 50% protection close the sound?😢 Now I see what you do , thank you so much.❤🎉

If I did a video of my bloopers I would double the amount of footage on my channel

Is it 24V to the clock at all time, or is only every other minute?

Merry Christmas Doz! All the best in 2025

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Doz. 🎅

love it
